file extension will not associate with a program
by Guest Nathan- 0 replies
- 114 views
I'm trying to set up a file extension to be associated with a software program on my machine. When I go into Folder Options, the program's file extension is not listed. I add it. When I try to associate it with the right software, it does not recognize it, even though I am drilling down in my programs folder to the exe file for the program. The software I'm trying to use is not even listed in the Programs list even though it is on the computer (and I can open it). Why is this doing this?

windows explorer mp3 bit rate error
by Guest Flynn- 0 replies
- 111 views
I have a USB hard drive connected to my laptop. When I examine files on the drive, it shows mp3 bit rates as being very high, e.g., 600 kbps. When I examine the same files on another computer, they show the correct bit rate, e.g., 360 kbps. Any ideas on why the files come up with a higher bit rate on the laptop (XP Home Edition) than on my other computers?

Acronis Image - Dual Boot
by Guest KDawg44- 5 replies
- 220 views
Hi, We use Acronis to image PC's. I need to set up a dual boot system with XP and Ubuntu. I would like to just deploy the image using Acronis. Is there a way to set up a partitions and to put the XP image on one but leave another partition for me to put Ubuntu on? The image was NOT set up this way, it takes all the unpartitioned space on the boot drive. Short of creating a new image or adding another hard drive, is there an easy way around this? Thanks. Kevin
